AMERICA’S LOST INVISIBILITY

Discussed by Dr. Dave Miller
with Apologetics Press (www.apologeticspress.org)

The incredible level of prosperity and technological achievement has lulled many Americans into thinking that America is invincible and well able to sustain its standing among the nations of the world.

Dr. Dave Miller, Executive Director of Apologetics Press, writes: “The Founders thought otherwise. They insisted that America’s greatness does not lie in her achievements, material progress, or ability to protect herself by military means.” More can be found in his article, “America’s Lost Invincibility”. 

“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

How does America resemble Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

Why is America so different compared to 150 years ago?

What are the main issues that have taken America’s focus off of God?

Did the Founders warn of the consequences of falling away from serving the God who made the universe? Should their warning be a sound, sober warning to Americans in the 21st century?

Remember: II Chronicles 7:14 “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

THE NORMALIZATION OF CENSORSHIP

Discussed by Jared Bridges
with Family Research Council (www.FRC.org)

Facebook started out as a place for college kids to connect, then evolved to families and friends to share photos and memories. Pinterest was supposed to be a harmless site, a place for swapping recipes and planning kitchen remodels. Now we know: even the most innocuous platforms aren't immune from Big Tech's censorship.

So, what happened? New guest Jared Bridges offers some insight in today’s segment. Jared is the Vice President and Expert on Social Media with the Family Research Council.

You can read more on this issue here.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Do companies based in Silicon Valley routinely censor Christian and/or Conservative statements on their platforms?

Are the thought-police running rampant now on Pinterest, as well as Facebook and Twitter? Jared Bridges compares the growth of these companies to the growth of a teenage boy: It’s awkward and they just don’t know what to do…

How can Conservative, Christians fight back?
